It’s officially spring, but Cardi B’s new icy floral manicure is giving me the chills in the very best way.
Cardi and her stylist Kollin Carter attended The Hollywood Reporter‘s Power Stylists event in Los Angeles on March 27; the pair are one of the celebrity-and-stylist duos on the cover of the magazine. Instead of leaning into springy pastels, the rapper and manicurist Coca Michelle went with taupe gray nails covered in translucent 3D floral charms; they’re flowers, but they look like they were carved out of crystal clear ice, like those fancy sculptures you see at parties.
Each long, stiletto-shaped nail was painted either a matte gray or a sheer, see-through grayish-taupe tone, with the oversized flower-shaped charms applied just below the tips on almost every nail. These aren’t your typical daisy or rose-shaped charms, but rather more sculptural, modern designs reminiscent of blown glass. (See a close-up here.) I don’t know about you, but I could stare at these nails for hours, and find something new every time. If Queen Elsa from Frozen turned a spring garden in full bloom into ice, it would look a lot like this manicure.
Cardi kept the gray vibes going with matching blue-gray contacts and wore her hair in a glamorous updo with soft curls pulled out to frame her face.
